Brief Summary

When reviewing the literature, the need to investigate the health education of patients with dysphagia and their family members / caregivers has been detected. Numerous articles mention or it can be inferred from them that an education or training has been carried out for the patient and caregivers, but the investigators have not found any that specifically focuses on this aspect of the intervention. Only in some Clinical Practice Guidelines is the need for health education included
